Roll up! Roll up! Hang onto anything you can during this celebration of human folly and resilience: a high-octane phenomenon of real people, real risks and real skills!

In a post apocalyptic world, a travelling band of freakshow clowns deliver a spectacle of fire, motorbikes, straitjackets and chainsaws.

Plus special guests: Gawkagogo!!! Halfcartoon, half-freakshow: their ingenious puppet-style costumes create a freakazoid cast of hybrid comedy characters.

This Irish premiere starring Lucifire, The Tusk, Fancy Chance and Baawo the Chainsaw takes traditional circus and twists it; dragging it kicking and screaming into the 21st century on an unstoppable rock ‘n’ roll rollercoaster ride to Hell.
